Hello members, is it possible to change appearance of Surface fill to other color?

Has anybody created an ISO 1302:2002 Surface Finish symbol and is willing to share it? PTC's Creo symbol supports ISO 1302:2001 and there are apparently no plans to upgrade it to the current standard.

Question:  Can a top-down assembly model that uses a skeleton to define all sub-part geometry be used as a flexible part in a higher level assembly (i.e. a part with at least one flexible dimension, a vardim defined at Assemble|Flexible or when Make Flexible is selected on an assembled part)? The sub-assembly in question (...3209) is entirely defined by the skeleton (...3211) as shown:One dimension is made to be flexible.  In this case the length within the skeleton.  Shown below this is actually through a parameter defined in a notebook declared in the skeleton and in the assembly that uses the skeleton.  I've tried other approaches as well such as a local parameter in the skeleton or a local dimension within the skeleton.  Seems when selecting the parameter I can drill down into sub-parts or grab parameters at the part level (which this one is).  Results are all the same. When I assemble the part into a higher level assembly, I update the dimen

I can't seem to position the datum symbol right beneath the dimension. Somehow, is placing the symbol in the middle of  the leader line.I tried config settings (gtol_datums to std_ansi OR  std_asme_y14.5_2018) , annotation dimensions without much success.  Any other tips? thanks 

Hi guys,I want create a model tree like this post mention.In this few days study, I can create new nodes in ProUITree object via ProUITreeNodeAdd().But, when i try to add column, ProUITreeColumnCreate("dialog","mytree","column1",label,PROUITREECOL_LEFT) doesn't add the new column as expected, api return PRO_TK_NO_ERROR, can anyone give me some tip? thank for help in advance.  

With the addition of the default material PTC_SYSTEM_MTRL_PROPS in Creo 7, ModelCheck's material_info in ModelUpdate mode stopped working. Before Creo 7, it used to assign the material you chose in models that didn't have any materials. The new default material wouldn't be a problem, but it doesn't have any parameters (density being the most important) which breaks mass calculation for assemblies.   As written in CS326615, you can add density to this default material in your templates, but that doesn't help me when I'm updating old models. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to solve this problem? For now we were using Creo 6 to ModelCheck old assemblies before importing them to Windchill but I'd rather have everyone use Creo 7 only.

I am new to Creo (using Creo 7) and I recently discovered the User Defined Analysis function and I am trying to better understand how to use it. I created a cross section property analysis, which gives me cross sectional area, center of gravity, inertia tensor, polar moment of inertia, section modulus, etc. When setting up the user defined analysis, I am able to select cross sectional area, CG and inertia tensor values however data such as polar moment of inertia and section modulus are not available. Is there any way to obtain these in a UDA? Thanks for any help

Please help me clarify: So Creo has 3 Simulate solutions: -Creo Simulate -Creo Simulate Live -Creo Ansys Simulate   Creo has 3 Flow solution -Creo Flow Analysis -Creo Simulate Live -Creo Ansys Simulate   Is there a simple chart that goes through these differences? What are the benefits of each? What do users typically buy. It seems like Creo Simulate is an older tool, but the others are relatively new. Both Ansys Simulate and Simulate Live came out around the same time. Besides the fact that this is confusing (why do this?), it makes it harder on the consumer to figure out what to choose. It seems like on youtube, more people are discussing Simulate Live.

Dear all, I was trying the inverter tutorial (with no heat transfer) and I get an issue during meshing (Simulation mode).I've only italian screen, I'll try to get in english soon and attach here.Fast translation is like: "Impossible to get tessellation from input geometry. Check geometry. In case of external fluid problem use general tessellation changin 'tessellation type' and retry." Does anyone get this error? Thanks for the answer

Sometimes I need to get a drawing in inches and want to make a cad model of it. I normally use mm, so is there a way of typing in the dimensions in inches and have Creo automatically convert to the default (mm), for example with a specific tag or something? It's time consuming to convert all units externally first.

Hello Guys,I'm new to CREO and we are introducing a the CAD system in our business while already having an imbedded and running Windchill. For BoM handling we want to be able to maintain our FindNumbers in CREO and pass the parameter further to Windchill to maintain the Design BoM. (all not a problem with the correct server settings and parameter mapping)I was able to create the component parameter in our assembly template as well as also display it in the model tree.Now I'm facing two problems, one to pass a relation to every occurrence in the assembly and the other to define that component parameter properties to always be a "string" and "designated".Relation:Since we have some components (C-Parts) which have a hard defined Findnumber in their "local" parameters I'm looking for a way to synch them into the component parameter.I was able to do that via a relation on that occurrence in the assembly (see printscreen), but would like to loop that relation to every component in the a

Hello everyone,  I am currently working on temperature modelling in tooling in Creo Simulate. On my current study, I would need to use the temperature distribution of the last step of a transient simulation as a starting condition for another transient simulation. I know that it is possible to set a fixed temperature or use the temperature distribution of a steady-state simulation as a starting condition for a transient simulation, but I don't see how I can use a result from a transient study. Do you know any techniques to do this? Thank you JulieFrench mechanical engineering student 

Welding, Mold/Cast commands not working in Creo Parametric 8.0.3.0 (student edition). How to make them work?

I need to update my license files and can't find how to start the Installation Assistant? What is the usual filepath and name of the install file. This is an existing installtion. I've looked for possible .exe and .bat files, but am missing the blindingly obvioius. Many thanks, Sam

My goal is to reference a defined local "sketch feature" parameter from the "sketch section" associated with the same sketch feature.  Intent is to define a sketch dimension to the value of the parameter.Creo help suggests that the way to do this is by qualifying the parameter name with the feature ID, such as:    <param_name>:<feature_id> or :<feature_name>or perhaps    <param_name>:FID_<feature_Id> or :FID_<feature_name>both forms have been tried.  These referencing syntax forms are not working. Example:  Sketch SK_123 exists with Feature Number 10 and Internal Feature ID 50 (obtained via Feature Information).   Within "Feature SK_123 id 50" (given in the Relations dialog when "Look In" is "Feature") parameter ABC is defined.   Within "Section 1 of Feature SK_123 id 50" (given in the Relations dialog with "Look In" is "Section") is relation sd0 = ABC:50 (or ABC:10 or ABC:FID_50 o

First, the parameter part_table_editor is set to "excel" That said, Creo will not allow me to open and edit a table pattern in excel if I already have another excel window open. When attempting to do that it throws this error:  The fix I have found (which is incredibly inefficient) is to close all open excel windows, open the table pattern, then reopen the excel files I am using to generate the data needed for the table pattern. Does anyone know if there is a fix that will allow me to open table patterns in excel without closing all other excel windows? 

When I show annotation for a view to display the MODEL DATUM in a view it appears, I can drag it up or down vertically in the view but, I cant shorten this ridiculously long leader.I have had this issue on many drawings.The datum is attached and along plane on the model.

Hey, I have a symbol in my draft format, when I use this format I want to get this symbol.The problem is the symbol is converted into draft entities and not selectable anymore.I cannot look for it with ProDrawingDtlsymdefVisit and ProDrawingDtlsymdefsCollect.Is there a way to get the symbol definition attached to the format? Thank you!

I am working on drafting , where I have to collect all dimension in drawing for this I used ProDrawingDimensionVisit() function but argument like visitAction & FilterAction need to pass Please help me to create dimension VisitAction Function  

Hello Everybody; one of our users showed me a "it worked perfectly ok yesterday but now it doesnt" issue. He opens two Creo-sessions because he wants to have different backgrounds for the main assembly and the sub-assembly he is working on.- Main assembly opened in session 1- Sub-assembly opened in session 2 versioned number is 1- Changes made in sub-assembly > Save > versioned number is now 2- Regenerates Main-assembly but changes in sub-assembly are missingWhen you open the sub-assembly from the main assembly you can see that its still versioned number 1 ! As my colleague said, he always worked that way and now it doesnt.Cant see anything suspicious in the config.proI can replicate this behaviour on my machine.  However, when he opens both files in ONE session everything is normal and changes are taken over as expected. There were some updates to the system yesterday, but nothing Creo related as far as i know. Has anybody experienced simular b

Hello,Is it possible to configure Creo 8 to set by default the extrusion  of a sheet metal part as symetric  ? Thanks,Best regards,Nicolas GUILLOT

When using Creo standard bulk items I have 2 scenarios.1. bulk item will always display as A/R in the BOM repeat region.  Glues, tape, etc. No prompt when added to an assembly.2. bulk item will always display a value based bom_report_quantity. Tubing, foam, etc. User prompted when added to an assembly to enter the bom_report_quantity. I can get either to work independently but not together. I have tried many variations but I end up with getting the "errors regenerating repeat region relations" when updating the tables. The below attempts return no values for bom_qty#1IF ASM_MBR_REPORT_QUANTITY==0BOM_QTY="A/R"ELSEBOM_QTY=rpt_qtyENDIF #2IF EXISTS ("ASM_MBR_REPORT_QUANTITY")IF ASM_MBR_REPORT_QUANTITY==0BOM_QTY="A/R"ELSEBOM_QTY=rpt_qtyENDIFENDIF The below reports relation errors and will only have a blank for the bulk item with a bom_report_quantity of 0BOM_QTY=rpt_qtyIF EXISTS ("ASM_MBR_REPORT_QUANTITY")IF ASM_MBR_REPORT_QUANTITY==0BOM_QTY="A/R"ELSEBOM_QTY=rpt_qty

I am using Creo Parametric 7.0 and am making a drawing and one of the parts in the assembly has been imported from a .step file. When I take a section of the assembly, the imported part instead of showing just solid lines, shows all of the quilt lines in magenta and purple. So essentially, you are seeing through the part, no longer just the nearest surfaces to the section plane. I have found some threads about using the import data doctor and have tried to make it a solid part, but have had no luck.   Is there a way to fix this in the drawing itself, or does it need to be done in the part?    The first picture is what it looks like when I take a section, the second picture is what it looks like when I dont take a section (what it should look like).
